That's very poor from both sides. The last time we met Saints in a QF (the infamous 75-0) it was a sell-out at KR... what's changed?

There's been a week to sell the tickets, we play each other 8 million times, there's a recession, the cup is losing its magic to some, all the crap with the stadium.

Very true.

The scheduling of the CC definitely needs to be looked at, it's an absolute joke. 3 rounds squashed into 5 weeks.



To be fair though, I think it's probably because of the Euros/Olympics and the RFL have naturally just bent over to the BBC not realising the impact it'd have.

Considering that last year we didn't play Round 5 until next week.

the semi final and final will be on the telly too...........by that logic the people who cba going tomorrow, and couldnt ba going to fev, presumably wont ba going to the semi and wembley should we get there?

thought not..............VOUCHERS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Maybe not the semi, but they'll all want final tickets.

Spot on. If we had 3 weeks to market this game, without the crap with the stadium and if it was the first time we had played each other for a good while.... it would probably be further towards 20k... especially with the North stand ipen.

My thoughts exactly. We are playing each other 3 times in 2 months. Some will already have forked out a fair portion of their wages for MM before this game was announced. In a way the one stand being closed is probably a saving grace as it will make the rest of the stands look fuller.

Then add to it all the other stuff recession etc, then you can see why. But even 14k would be no bad effort given the conditions. Take out people who have paid for MM, then you could add a couple of thousand more.
